One of the best games on the Neo Geo makes an unexpected and welcome appearance on the world's most 3D system. Read Review

Xbox version of the classic sidescrolling 3D shooter. The evil General Morden is back... as is his depraved plan to establish a new world order.

This Xbox edition features Xbox Live Leaderboards as well as the same bulletting 2D action across 5 mayhem-filled stages as seen in arcades.
